Hello there, my name is Dominick, I am 20. I was a part of Wikipedia: WikiProject AP Biology 2009, and am currently a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Animals and Wikipedia:WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles. I recently created Wikiproject Turtles: a collaboration to improve the quality of turtle articles on wikipedia.

My user name, NYMFan69-86, is a combination of a couple things. The NYM stands for New York Mets, my absolute favorite team (all sports). The numbers, 69 and 86, are the two years the Mets won the World Series of baseball (1969 and 1986). These are the two best years known to man.

I am currently attending the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and am enrolled in the Lloyd International Honors College. I am pursuing a major in Human Biology and a minor in Chemistry and Spanish.

Well I suppose that's enough yammering, back to work!!
